Logs full practice Chism (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.
Impact The Patriots list the injury that Chism had been dealing with as a knee issue, but either way, the UDFA out of Eastern Washington will be available for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders. On the heels of an impressive preseason, Chism secured a spot on the 53-man roster, but at least initially look for the rookie slot man to work in a depth role in a wideout corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams.

Makes 53-man roster The Patriots informed Chism (foot/ankle) on Tuesday that he's made the initial 53-man roster, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Chism has successfully defied the odds after going undrafted out of Eastern Washington back in April, as he'll begin his NFL career on New England's active roster with a chance to contribute both as a depth wideout and on special teams. He missed the Patriots' preseason finale due to what appears to be a minor ankle or foot injury, which he sustained during the team's second preseason game against Minnesota. Chism will work to get fully healthy in time to face the Raiders in Week 1.

Doesn't practice Monday Chism (foot/ankle) did not participate in Monday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Impact Chism continues to work through foot and ankle injuries that he picked up during the Patriots' second preseason game against the Vikings. The undrafted rookie has impressed the Patriots' coaching staff during training camp and has a solid chance of making the 53-man roster for the start of the regular season. If he does make the cut, Chism's practice participation over the next two weeks will indicate his availability for the Patriots' Week 1 contest against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Misses Thursday's game Chism (foot/ankle) didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants.
Impact Chism missed practice time this week, but provided his injury issue doesn't linger, the rookie UDFA out of Eastern Washington appears to be in a solid spot in terms of making the Patriots' initial 53-man roster. Added context on that front will arrive no later than next week, when roster cuts/moves occur league-wide.

Not on track to play Thursday Chism (foot/ankle) who has missed the Patriots' last two practices, isn't likely to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact For now, the Patriots wideout corps remains crowded, but Chism's strong training camp/preseason has put him in decent position to secure a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster, provided his injury issue doesn't linger. In his two preseason appearances, Chism has caught 12 passes for 121 yards and two TDs.

Injury likely minor Chism (undisclosed) was able to ride a stationary bike off to the side of Monday's training camp practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Reiss notes that Chism was able to work "rigorously" on the stationary bike, indicating the injury that the rookie wideout picked up during Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings is a minor one. Chism's strong play during training camp practices and in preseason games has him on track to make New England's 53-man roster for the regular season. His practice participation over the next couple of days will play a factor in his ability to suit up for the Patriots' preseason finale against the Giants on Thursday.

Not practicing Monday Chism (undisclosed) won't practice Monday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Per Kyed, Chism didn't get back into Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings after recording an impressive 12-yard TD, en route to logging a 6/71/1 receiving line (on six targets) over the course of his 25 snaps on offense. The UDFA's strong play this summer has seemingly put him in a good position to secure a spot on the Patriots' initial 53-man roster, provided his injury issue isn't something that lingers. Chism is in line to be evaluated before Tuesday's practice and Thursday's exhibition finale against the Giants.
